Some photos from my phone

I dumped some photos out of my cell phone tonight - here they are :)


The cats here in Taiwan look very different than the cats in North America. Their faces are more 'pointy'.

This cute little guy lives at the local KLG chicken stand. I watched him and his brother grow up in the months I've been here, from tiny kittens to the adolescent cat you see before you, stalking a wily street cockroach.

There are lots of creepy crawlies for the local felines to stalk and hunt... Cockroaches, lizards, monkeys, etc.



This is the little guy as a kitten two months previous.



Hot Pot - a local delicasy. Very good :)



Two students at the Ren De school



The swastika is a buddhist symbol of luck and good fortune (used centuries before Hitler adopted it as the symbol for the NSDAP). Despite what some might think, both the clockwise and counter-clockwise swastika is used here interchangibly. As a result, a lot of well-meaning buddhists who don't know any better commonly end up wearing or displaying Nazi regalia. This old woman is wearing a WW-II Schutzstaffel motorcycle helmet (complete with the eagle angled clockwise Swastika and SS insignia on the sides).



The students in this class like to design their own 'team' insignia for the class games.

Got something stuck in your butt? Maybe you need to use a TOOTPICK

They are probably mixed with Siamese cats - hence the pointy face.
